The Politics of Death

“These leftwing loons have power in New York, so it’s no bail, no responsibility, no protection for civilians or police. The streets simmer with criminality. Good people are brutalized every day.”

(Bill O’Reilly) St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. Funeral mass. Hundreds of police inside. Thousands of others outside. All here to honor murdered New York City police officer Jonathan Diller and his grieving family.

The 31-year-old was shot to death by a career criminal who was allowed by politicians and judges to roam the nation’s largest city armed and dangerous….

Easter Is the World’s Most Historically Verified Holiday

(Scott Powell – The Patriot Post) From the beginning of recorded history, people have turned to religion as a way to find refuge, solace, and meaning. Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and most other religions point to their own prophets and teachers, but among those world religions, only Christianity has a founder who professed to be the Messiah — the Son of God. Easter is the historical account and conclusive evidence of that Messiah.

Easter weekend starts with Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion when God sacrificed His only Son, Jesus Christ, to fulfill His plan to provide salvation from sin for all who believe in Christ, the Savior…. Continue reading

Fake Catholic Joe Biden Tried to Cancel Easter, but Jesus Won

“Easter is the holiest day of the year for Christians, and Biden choosing to wax on about a lunatic leftist agenda “holiday” instead is disgusting. That he chose Good Friday to do it shows that he isn’t really Catholic at all and that he doesn’t have any real people of faith in his inner circle. That was beyond tone-deaf. It was a display of contempt for Christians.” 

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) There are just so many things to dislike about Joe Biden, the man and the president. And I mean intensely dislike. One of the more galling fictions that the Dem-friendly media likes to keep up is that Biden is a good Catholic and a man of deep faith. In the MSM telling of the story, President LOLEightyonemillion is halfway to canonization. Continue reading

Joe Biden Declares Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

“In June 2023, the White House held an event for “LGBTQI+ families,” during which transgender activist Rose Montoya and other transgender activists flashed their bare chests. The White House has even pushed transgenderism on children.”

(Bradley Jaye – Breitbart) President Joe Biden’s White House has declared the holiest of Christian holidays “Transgender Day of Visibility,” announcing that “transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation.” Continue reading

That Which Prevails Over Death

13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15 He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ. Matthew 16:13-20 (LSB) 

Genuine Christians, God’s heirs, are those who have believed. Continue reading

Why We Need a Crucified and Risen Savior

(Robb Brunsnsky – The Cripplegate) This month, we are starting a series entitled Suffering Servant, Risen Lord, as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Over the next several weeks, we will look at different passages of Scripture relating to the purpose of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

The first is Genesis 3, which is the account of humanity’s fall into sin through Adam’s transgression and the place where redemption and salvation became necessary. Prior to Genesis 3, we did not need a crucified and risen Savior because there was no sin.

When sin entered the world, though, everything changed, and it required radical action from God if humanity was to be rescued from destruction and death. The only solution to the problem of sin was a crucified and risen Savior. Continue reading

President Trump just shared this video on Truth Social—is he sending his enemies a bone-chilling message?

WATCH THE VIDEO TRUMP POSTED.

(Revolver) Make no mistake, 2024 is shaping up to be one of the fiercest political showdowns we’ve ever seen. The shenanigans of 2020, with the COVID “pandemic,” mail-in voting chaos, and ballot harvesting (to name just a few), were just the tip of the iceberg. And here we are again, with the Democrats fielding a candidate who’s not exactly at the top of his game. If Joe Biden was considered a lost cause in 2020, the situation has only deteriorated. Now, the man’s ability to water a plant, much less run the most powerful country in the world, is under the microscope…. Continue reading

Wefare USA! Socialist NYC’s $1400 Debit Cards for ‘Newcomers’

“America’s wealth took two and a half centuries to build, and now everyone is allowed to plunder it except for you.”

(Mary Dowling) Mayor Eric Adams’s administration launched its program to give prepaid debit cards to New York City migrants this week. Adams signed a no-bid $53 million contract for the deal.

Staffers with the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance handed out eight preloaded Mastercards at the Roosevelt Hotel on Monday as part of its pilot program that will expand to 115 cards by next week. Continue reading

Good Friday: Was It Cosmic Child Abuse?

(Josh Buice – G3) On Good Friday each year, Christians remember the most glorious sacrifice and the most horrific murder that ever occurred in human history. Why do we refer to the Friday after Thanksgiving as “Black Friday” and the Friday before Easter “Good Friday”? Should they be reversed?

It’s the day set aside on the calendar to remember the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of his people and the heinous murder of God’s Son. Why would we celebrate that day as a good day?… Continue reading

The One True Gospel

23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:23-24 (LSB) 

I will be 73 years old later this year. I have been a Christian for about 38 years, but I grew up in a “Christian” home going to church every Sunday until I grew up and went my own way. I know that Christians are commanded to be forgiving, kind, and gentle with others. However, we are also commanded to stand firm and withstand false teachers and their doctrines…. Continue reading

Obama Has ‘Grave Concern’ Biden Will Lose, Is Ready to Intervene

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Despite mail-in voting and ballot harvesting and a host of other perfectly legal ways to tilt the playing field, could Old Joe Biden actually lose in November? If a Tuesday New York Times story is to be believed, the answer is a resounding yes, and among the most worried is the senescent corruptocrat’s old friend and mentor, Barack Obama.

“Old friend and mentor,” as is well known, is largely an image manufactured for public consumption. Obama has actually taken the measure of his aged former wingman, and has famously warned: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to [mess] things up.”… Continue reading

The Valley of Humiliation and dealing with discouragement

23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. Genesis 40:23 (LSB) 

My natural tendency is to heartily participate in self-pity, outrage, and unforgiveness thereby opening doors in my heart that Satan enters causing me to become discouraged. When this happens to me, I find that my circumstances drive me to become very negative and impatient. I suppose that this is one of my besetting sins which clings closely to me ready to cut in on me causing me to drop out of the race God has set before me to run with endurance (Hebrews 12:1-2)….

Al Mohler Changes Position On Abortion

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Al Mohler has been around for a long time in the Southern Baptist Convention and has had a tremendous impact on how the SBC got to where it is today. For better or worse, Al Mohler has had many position changes in his career relating to liberalism, feminism, homosexuality, and a stated position on Critical Race Theory. However, recently Al Mohler has changed his stance on abortion and whether a woman is morally and should be criminally culpable for it. Continue reading

SBC Women’s Conference Speaker Appears in Promo Video With Transgenders Promoting LGBTQ Ideology in the Church

“This represents the usual attempt to downplay the sinfulness of same-sex marriage by redefining it as a Christian ordinance rather than a Creation ordinance. It suggests that God’s teachings on marriage are only applicable within the realm of Christianity.”

(The Dissenter) Rachel Gilson, a self-described same-sex attracted woman who spoke at the Southern Baptist Convention’s women’s conference in 2023 has now appeared in a promo video released by Preston Sprinkle’s Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender…. Continue reading

Tulsi Tells Tucker Who She Thinks Is Running the White House

(Mary Dowling) Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama portrayed former Rep. from Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard as a traitor and a Putin puppet after she risked her life in service of her country. Tulsi bucked them on war. She addressed that with Tucker Carlson during a recent interview.

“I had the audacity to go against them to challenge the elite of the Democratic Party,” Tulsi said, “which is Hillary Clinton, and it’s Barack Obama, and it’s the people who surround them, in the military-industrial complex, in the media-industrial complex, those who are pushing and it’s not limited the Democratic Party, of course.

Are You Ready for a Major Jihad Attack in the U.S.? Because It’s Coming.

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) What’s coming is as plain as day.

Our nation can hardly be said to have a southern border at all anymore. Even if the border were magically to reappear tomorrow, millions of people are already in the country without anyone knowing who or what they are. One hundred sixty-nine people on the FBI’s terror watch list were caught at the border in 2023; nobody knows how many people on that watch list got across the nonexistent border without being caught. Continue reading

I’d Rather Have Jesus…Than A Chocolate Easter Bunny

By Marsha West

Easter evokes images of decorative baskets filled with all sorts of goodies, cool new clothes, church services, the annual Easter egg hunt, families and friends gathering together to enjoy a sumptuous meal.  Doesn’t it seem a bit odd that people will spend an entire day celebrating a make-believe rabbit?

Today when Easter Sunday rolls around a good many Christians spend more time participating in secular events than celebrating the Resurrection of their Savior.  Before I move on I should point out that “Easter” is now passé.  Wanting to remove the Christian origins of our language, secularists managed to change Resurrection Sunday to Easter Sunday and Easter break to spring break – all in the name of tolerance. Fortunately a large number of believers have caught on to their shenanigans and have gone back to using Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter.

Just as our postmodern culture has secularized Christmas, likewise Easter has been secularized and now we incorporate the Easter Bunny, hunting for colorful eggs and binging on chocolate and jellybeans.  There’s nothing wrong with Easter festivities per se — but for Christians, Christ’s triumph over death ought to be the reason for the celebration.   What does a big bunny, a basket filled with plastic Easter eggs and decadently delicious goodies have to do with Jesus? Continue reading

What is Christian Suffering and Perseverance?

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, having been kept in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:3-7 (LSB)

Because of God’s grace and regeneration, believers are changed forever. However, they are not immediately at the spiritual maturity level that God desires for His people. Therefore, from that point until they go home to be with their Lord, all genuine Christians will go through a series of tests and trials that put pressure on their faith…. Continue reading

Why the Transgender Craze Is Coming to an End

“Even the UK’s Labour Party said banning trans women from female sports protects the integrity and safety of the competition….”

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) Madeline touched upon this earlier this month when the United Kingdom issued a total ban on puberty blockers for minors. The National Health Service took a significant step in ending the “transanity” that’s engulfed the Western World. It became a liberal war cry, but what’s happening across the pond will inevitably be exported here. There’s something about minors undergoing genital mutilation surgeries and competing in sports where they didn’t belong that doesn’t sit well with most Americans…. Continue reading

Hamas Digs In on Hostages After Biden Betrays Israel at UN

(Joel B. Pollack – Breitbart) Hamas is reportedly refusing to accept Israel’s terms for a hostage deal and digging in on its demands after the Biden administration refused to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution on Monday calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The resolution did not require that Israeli hostages be released as a condition of a ceasefire — a requirement that the U.S. had made in previous proposals. Instead, the resolution simply mentioned the release of the remaining hostages. Continue reading

Irish Voters Defeat Leftist Referendum To Remove ‘Mother’ From Constitution

“The change might seem small, but it would put Ireland in the position of attempting to be the first nation in history to eliminate from its governing language words that describe objective realities about people.”

(Tim Goeglein – The Federalist) On March 8, Western civilization dodged a bullet. On that day, voters in Ireland went to the polls to vote on a referendum that could ultimately result in worldwide changes for the definition of the family. Continue reading

Whose sins are forgiven and why?

48 And he said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.” 49 And the ones reclining with him began saying among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” (Luke 7:48-49 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

In Luke 7:36-50 there are three main characters. There is our Lord Jesus Christ, Simon the Pharisee, and an unnamed woman who is referred to in v37 and v39 simply as ἁμαρτωλός (hamartōlos), “sinful, sinner.” The events in this passage take place at a meal in Simon’s home and there are others reclining at the table with them. The unnamed woman is uninvited…. Continue reading

A New and Rising Liberalism in the Church

“Make no mistake: Modern Liberalism is just as heretical as was the theological liberalism of the early 20th century. It is heresy to deny the necessity of sanctification for believers as much as to deny the authority of scripture. To deny that Christ truly transforms his people in this life is as much heresy as it is to deny that he came to save.”

(Aaron Prelock – Reformation 21) There’s a new liberalism making its way through our churches and transforming our denominations. No, this liberalism doesn’t deny the virgin birth or the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection. This liberalism is steeped in biblical exegesis and historic-Reformed categories…. Continue reading
